Hello,
I consider myself a fairly technical person, and I recently had my phone lock up while running Nero V3 for my Samsung Vibrant. When I tried to reboot (battery pull) my internal SD was corrupted, so i decided to return to stock. I was not running any lag fixes at this time. Upon flashing to stock with Odin, I was greeted with a black screen and 4 lights. I've been trying everything to fix this. I saw that many people with the same issue have had luck flashing Eugene's Froyo that Doesn't Brick, and then flashing the JFD stock rom. I tried this as well, and have had no luck.
I am stuck. I don't know what to do. I have managed to load CWM recovery, and i can adb into the device, but when I try to push an update.zip, I get an I/O error.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm just not suer where to go from here. I really believe if I could just format and re-partition the internal SD, I would be able to get it all back...
Thanks.
When you say you flashed "eugenes froyo that doesn't brick", how did it not work? Were you able to get into download mode and odin the proper files? Did it error out?

If you are able to boot into clockwork recovery you can format your internal sdcard there. That should fix your corruption issue. After that I would boot into download mode and Odin stock JFD with re-partition clicked. Hopefully that gets you up and running. Then if you actually NEED any files from you internal sdcard (like pictures) there are programs out there that let you recover items off erased harddrives. Just be sure to do that before filling up your sdcard with new stuff. Hope this helps and good luck.
Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick gave me an error, and I read that it was supposed to. So from there, I got into download mode and used Odin to install the JFD Stock Rom. Odin was always successful when it came to installing and rebooting my device.
Recovery "says" that it sucessfully formats my sd card, but the files remain, and I still cannot boot. When I use Odin to flash any other ROM, I get the same result. I either get a black screen with 4 lights, or it gets hung up on the Samsung Vibrant screen.
Also, I'm not concerned with any files on the internal SD.
If you can get into cwm recovery and download mode, you should be able to get out of this. Try to format sd from cwm as whitehawk suggested. Did jfd odin error out as well? Can you restore from cwm?

Didyou repartition in odin when you flashed back to stock or on eugene's froyo that doesnt brick?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Yes, I re-partitioned in Odin. I've tried several times, and the last time, I repartitioned on the stock ROM.
Thanks, NightHawkx! I am giving that a try now. crossing fingers...
ODIN says:
"<ID:0/010> Completed..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)"
Phone reboots, blank screen. All 4 buttons lit up when I tapped home. Nothing more.
I wonder if it's something wrong with my device. It seems like it should be reparable. I would rather not take it to T-mobile. I don't know what they'd so since it's been rooted and had custom roms.

You need to delete the jfd file and the 512 pit file from your computer and redownload them
I would be happy to try. Where should I get them from?
Also, is there a way to delete my Internal SD from my pc or adb?
Downloading now from Vibrant Bible Sticky post link.
Same result.
Try this fix and you should also take out your sim card and your external sd card
Same result.
I wonder if, since Nero is stuck on my phone, and the file system is unreachable, is there a way to load Nero on my phone? I can't from CMRecovery, I tried. Can I Odin a copy of that rom on there? Just long enough to remove the files and reflash?

I believe the key is you need to find a voodoo kernel you can push via odin. I searched a little and found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877800 If you scroll down in the OP you will find a section called "Downloads" the bold text in gold will link you to a voodoo .tar kernel.
Hope this helps
Hmm...maybe a dumb question...but did you wipe data in recovery before rebooting?

If the phone cannot get past the black screen, just delete the CWM zip and tell t-Mobile it just stopped working, they wont be able to get further than you and will give you a new phone.
Hi, I have searched high and low for Eugene's no brick froyo rom. Can't find it anywhere. Anyone have a link?
I need it as nothing is unbricking my Vibrant. The internal ram is still checksum fail, after I had used cwr to partition the memory, thinking it was for external sd.
I have used ODIN to re-flash stock... With re-partition checked and un-checked, no difference.
Trying to be calm

Good luck, it should work. I was in your exact shoes last night and the only thing that did it was for me was this (Froyo that doesn't brick). Nothing else would unbrick my phone.
After flashing it, my phone would only boot into recovery. It wouldn't let me get into Froyo, not even sure if it's supposed to. Anyway, once it flashed and entered recovery, I simply rebooted and flashed back to stock and all was well.

I am, absurdly, in the same boat. I, too, thought I was reformatting my external SD. I followed the link above to Eugene's froyo that doesn't brick file and am installing the Android SDK as well. Am I to understand that once you flash Eugene373's "rom that doesn't brick" that it just remains in the recovery screen while I do an adb reboot from my PC? Sorry if this is a redundant question. I did read all of Eugene's post front to back several times.
My question that I really need answered is: How do I do an ADB reboot from my PC? I installed my drivers and android SDK, but can't seem to make it reboot from my cmd by typing "adb reboot"
Nevermind ;-) I figured it out. I was just overthinking the problem. Instead of typing adb reboot, I just manually rebooted it and then reflashed stock 2.1 from ODIN and, "Voila!" My issue is fixed. What a serious pain in the ass. Not something I am likely to repeat in this lifetime. Thanks alot guys for your post and to Eugene373 for his genius "rom that doesn't brick."
Well, first off, I FINALLY ROOTED !!!!!!.....samsung fascinate.I500...2.2.2.....edo5.........rooted with SIMPLE ONE CLICK.......... achieved SUPER USER........downloaded ROM MANAGER........however.......when i try to flash ANY rom, i get error msg " FAILED TO VERIFY WHOLE-LIFE SIGNATURE".....". SIGNATURE VERIFICATION FAILED "....
"INSTALLATION ABORTED"
ANY IDEA WHY I GET THIS ?..........thanks.Dennis
Flashing or installing a recovery on a stock kernel gets reset at boot. You need to flash recovery (cwm) in odin with battery out, insert batt and 3 finger into recovery and flash a custom kernel to get recovery to stick.
good day.
???
hi, and thanks for reply........im sorry but im obviously newbie. can you give advice on how exactly i can acheive your suggestion ?.......i dont know what ODIN is or even how to do this
thanks
dennis
What exactly are you trying to flash? Or what rom are you looking to be on?
good day.
well, like i said, im newb, so i tried the ROM MANAGER app.......and it lists only a few ROMs. but any i try i get same error.
btw, i would like to be on Cynogen, or fresh
Don't really recommend Rom Manger...
-Download Odin.
-Download CWM4 fixed for CM7... HERE. (Bottom of JTs post)
-Copy the ROM you wish to use onto your SD card anywhere.
-Open Odin
-Phone off, remove the battery, hold down volume button, plug in USB cord
-Should go into download mode, shown on the screen of your phone, and show show up as connected in Odin.
-Using PDA Button (Never use phone button in ODIN!) flash the CWM4 for Odin file you downloaded. DON'T do anything until it says success, finished done, etc, just don't stop mid flash. Shouldn't take that long, and your phone should turn back off.
-Reinsert the battery, do the three finger recovery (DO NOT let the phone boot back up otherwise you'll need to reflash recovery)
-Choose install ROM from SD card, choose the rom, CM7 or whatever you downloaded, and flash it.
-Now that's going from memory, so it might not be exactly "install rom from sd card", I think it actually says "install .zip from sd card" or something like that but you get the idea.
- I would recommend backing up all your data, and then wiping cache, dalvik, and data before flashing a new ROM.
- If going to CM7, MIUI, OMGB OMFGB, VGB, etc, any 2.3 based rom you'll want to ODIN the GB_Bootloaders too.
Superoneclick has had problems on 2.2.2 ed05. If you odin the stock ed05 package from pentafive, you dont need to flash a modified kernal to get cwm to stick! Also there is no need to root if your installin a rom, it will already be rooted. My suggestion is to start with powerwashed 1.2 rom get familiar with what you are doing before messing around with mtd gingerbread roms.
Here is directions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16566628&postcount=285

well my problem is im newbie lol...........i dont know what ODIN is, nor do i know how to flash PENTAFIVE package..........i realize im being a PITA on these forums, but i really need someone to step-bystep me thru this

If you don't have any clue what ODIN is, or what CWM is, or even how to spell Cyanogen correctly, you have no business at all even thinking about being on CyanogenMod 7. Have to learn to crawl before you can walk before you can run. Read the stickies, read the stickies again, read the stickies again, know what you are doing and understand what you are doing before doing anything to your phone, then start simple with a debloated/deodexed stock rom or powerwash ED05.

There's no trick or magic or easy fix for rooting. Its all about experience. Once you've flashed 20 ROM's+...you'll understand!
I know that some of these are 150+ pages long, I KNOW...I've read them all! Trust me when I tell you, each page is money!
You've got an amazing machine, go read some of the ROM postings and learn the lingo, the steps, the problems and fixes. then root your fascinate.
You'll be glad you did.

I have tried to read as many posts on this topic as possible, and I haven't found a proper solution. I've found a few threads where the issue was apparently fixed but they never bothered posting how they did it. If there is a thread that addresses and fixes this issue, my apologies and please redirect me.
First off, I've had my phone rooted since February and it has been working fine. I forget exactly what I rooted with but I have the super user app icon. Last week my Fascinate crashed and re-booted into startup wizard, and all my apps were erased, and I kept getting the force close error boxes. I dont know exactly what caused this but think I might have erased super user when I was going through and deleting apps to free up space. When I reboot everything erases and I go into the start up wizard. My internal memory is 0 and I cannot download any apps. I tried to do factory reset but the data could not be wiped. I tried flashing with odin all the possible .tar packages out there and they all get stuck on the movinand.bin file and fails. I've tried flashing in heimdall but couldnt get it to reboot at all. I've booted into cwm, and every time I try to factory reset/wipe data i get the "error mounting data!" message. I know there's definitely a memory problem and a data problem that has been consistent, and everything I've tried can't get around it.
My current temporary fix has been installing the cyanogen mod, which allows me to use the basic phone functions without the force close boxes. I still have the memory issue and cannot receive text messages, and my network settings are deleted when I reboot. Again, I've read quite a bit of threads on this topic and there seems to be a consensus that I might need the original.mbr and stock.zip files, which I tried downloading from that link everyone posts and they dont work. CWM says the .zip file is bad. Also, the link is like 2 years old as well as most of the threads on this topic, and I havent found anything recent. I've also read about using adb shell to address the issue in the HOW TO guide, and it seems i really need those files. Sorry this was long, I just want to make sure I'm not repeating something that has already been addressed and fixed. Please help. Thanks.

Is your sdcard broke? Try another if you have...
Use this guide! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17050028 you'd want section 2....Use Odin and follow the directions to a tee. You want to restore...so use how to flash eh03
DROID DOES, Apple did...like I forgot when
I don't think my sd card is broken, as I can still save files and music to it. That is how I was able to install cyanogen mod - I did it through clockwork recovery and then install from .zip. Could there still be something wrong with it?
Also, are you absolutely sure I'll be able to flash the eh03 in Odin without it getting stuck on "movinand.bin" ? Every .tar file I've tried so far has had that happen.

when using Odin, try different USB port, different USB cable, be sure battery is out..
Also, are you using Odin to flash a stock tar? you should be, and if so are you using the v2.2 pit with the repartition box checked?

Here are all the files I've tried:

CI500_VZW_EH03_GB_CM.tar
eh03_full_odin.tar
DI01package3.tar
stock_kernel.tar
I'm also using atlas_v2.2.pit
All of the .tar files get stuck at movinand.bin for about half an hour then it fails. I've tried checking and unchecking the re-partition box with the same result.
Pixelation also recommended the droidstyle guide, I was just afraid of running into the same issue with the movinand.bin file. I've found numerous other threads about people having this same problem and never found a clear solution. I think one person was able to get it fixed with help from adrynalyne, but it was through IRC, so it was never posted in the thread. Any other ideas on what I should try?

I've tried it on another computer and it still hangs on movinand.bin. It's definitely not a computer issue, since I rooted the phone in February just fine. I think something must have happened when I accidentally deleted the superuser app last week. The only files that I've been able to flash successfully are atlas_v2.2, cwm4-bml-i500, and cwm3_voodoo.tar. Then from clockwork I can install cyanogen from the sd card so I sort of have a working phone. What's the unbrickable mod?

Well, first you don't flash the atlasv2.2pit. that file is a partition map. It repartitions the phone when combined with a factory image. when doing so you need to have the repartition box checked.
The unbrickable mod by adam outler is a hardware mod that allows you to recover from a brick. Google it.

As some possible help, Have you tried sixstringsg one click. Not sure if it re-partitions but here's the link! EH03 Heimdall One-Click
Also you say the tar's are failing at 99%, have you tried flashing them individually? IE: extract the tar and use the following!
Code:
heimdall flash --repartition --pit atlas_v2.2.2.pit --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --dbdata dbdata.rfs --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --param param.lfs --kernel zImage --modem modem.bin --recovery recovery.bin

Oops sorry, I didnt actually flash the atlas.pit file. I meant the only files I got to PASS in Odin were the ones mentioned. The unbrickable mod looks way to complicated, and I dont feel comfortable taking apart my phone and soldering it.
What do you know about unbricking via adb? I just installed it yesterday so I dont know all the shell commands. If my phone can't wipe or mount data, i cant get past this damn movinand.bin in odin, and my internal memory is zero - is there a folder i need to go in and delete in adb that is preventing me from flashing in odin? Can't I just delete all data so I'm free to flash anything? It seems like something is still present in my phone to be showing 0 internal memory and not letting me wipe data that needs to be removed.

There is hope. I can link all the files to you later because I'm busy now, but I can tell you the way. I'm assuming you already have Odin and all the stock .pda and .tar files. So first flash the .pit and .tar and then flash the .pit and a file called dbdata which should be everywhere if you look for it. The dbdata file should mount your system and fix that problem. Also make sure you have re-format checked. If I remember right just playing around with those helped me with the same problem. I think the dbdata didn't work the first few tries then I tried something else and it worked. Let me know how it goes and I'll try to help you from there
Thank you.I did the pit and tar but didn't know about dbdata. Not sure if this helps or hinders but I have a 959v and it seems like its a 4gs istead of a vibrant. I thought they were the same but I see a separate forum for it. Ill check out posts there but if what you suggests works I'll be very appreciatve

Haha well if you don't have a vibrant you might want to make sure you have the correct .pit and .tar first. That's why is soft-bricked
That probably would explain my problem. I did just find that out yesterday, after I bricked it. I assumed the tar was for a variety of models since the file name included a couple letters that I thought might be different models . I'm guessing the pit is only for the vibrant. I'll head over to the s4g forum and see what I can find
